Interesting because of the people she seems to want dead. *evil smilie* No, it's the whole dreaming within a dream thing.

Perhaps she has been reading too much Poe(try)

A Dream Within A Dream


Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?


Edgar Allan Poe

Lovely poem Mith!

Why so? I think that's quite obvious. He was blown up. Far more interesting is how Legate ended up small and white and big-headed...

I dreamt that I posted on the Ones to Marry -thread that I would marry either Gildor or Merry. Quite funny. My subconscious is obviously telling me things... and it's not making bad picks at all, I must say, (I like both of the characters very much), but I'm rather amused that they were those two, as I played Gildor in Legate's ww and will probably play Merry in the Would there ever be a possibility? -project... Is my subconscious implying that I'm enough for myself? Or that I'm way too self-centered? Or something else?

Well, there is no hurt in admitting you know yourself the best. Most people can't even brag about that (including m'self a bit ).

On an optional note, you might have set up quite a challenge to anyone who might fancying you, in that you only expect the best as yourself (which isn't bad at all! Everyone needs their own good set of standards), then why not them as well?
Though, I think that is the 'high' standard that all us of the female wit hold at one point or another. Without it the world would be in quite a mess.

I finally had a BD dream!!!

(Well it was probably the second but anyway... )

I had it clear in my mind in the morning but it sadly faded during the day.

Anyway there were myself and Lommy with Mac and Nerwen packed into boxes in an Aeroflot / Russian army flight in a huge transport airplane (size of a small city) going to Moscow. We were werewolves. That much I do remember. And it was both fun and exciting - not frightening.

I don't normally dream of Russia either... just to balance that.

You know Bulgakov's "Master and Margarita" is translated in Finnish as "Satan arrives to Moscow"!

I too just had my first Barrow Downs dream.

I was part of the crew on a Hollywood film, and Lommy and Greenie were involved somehow. They weren't in it... I think the company was using their house as either a location or a base of operations. It was full of equipment.

The main thing I remember is that everyone was talking about how cliched the plot was (a techno-thriller about hackers and conspiracies and stuff).

After a long wait I had another BD-Dream, or rather a downer made a cameo in one of my dreams. At times the dream was a bit confusing so I shall leave out bits that only confuses.

It all started with me sitting alone in a bus going to Berlin, for some reason I was very concerned that I might loose some of my lugage. Then for no apparent reason I am being chased and I have to stop a car in order to get away, I decide that the best way to do so is by throwing cookies at the car. of course I fail. (this part of the dream repeats it self, each time with a different cars and different objects such as: Oranges and umbrellas) I was eventually caught and brought to research facility where they tried to erase my memory and do other nasty tests on me, luckely they where not succesful and then I was left alone in a room.

After lying in the room for quite a while I spotted Lhuna talking to some of the evil people, eventually she spotted me as well and came into the room. She talked with me for a while gave me a small kiss on the cheek and then she helped me escape back to the bus for Berlin.

I arrived in Berlin, but of course they had lost some of my lugage. . .
